            agreed. The M3 sounded sweet.

            Thanks for sharing your pics @HipMF

            some tips if you need 'em for nikon cameras:Ā  If your lens has the VR switch, turn it off. it wont play well with camera panning or moving objects. Set your Autofocus mode to AF-C and 3D tracking. it predicatively changes the focus based on your subjects movement, to help catch focus on cars coming towards you.

            finally got around to my photos

            Thanks for the tips. The last time I used the camera was at a show that I went to, so I had the ISO jacked up to 800 and autofocus set to AF-S. I just forgot to change it before I started snapping away. Noob mistake. Live and learn...

                      nice. I've been too cheap to buy a proper helmet for SCCA events. Maybe next year...

                      Planning on doing the FVSCC event at RA Sept 12. Someone remind me not to forget that registration opens Aug 26.

                            Were you able to sign up? I just signed up for it, going to be driving the wagon in D street.Ā Looks like the registration is open for FVSCC members only until the 2nd of September, then open to non-members.

                              I did find the page, but it said I wasn't a member when I tried to sign up. I joined the club through motorsportsreg, but maybe someone needs to manaully add me to the list or something. I sent an email to Justin last night. We'll see...

                                  Had a blast at the FVSCC RA autocross today! Perfect weather and the course had a great mix of fast and challenging sections. I understeered my way to a glorious not-last finish in my class!

                                  Tried my hardest with my potato phone camera, got a few shots of @HipMFĀ while working turn 1. They both came out a little blurry unfortunately, probably had a finger print on the lens or something.Ā

                                      Austin put some pictures up:

                                      Surprised how much body roll I'm still able to get.

                                      Didn't see any pictures of the long-roof unfortunately.

                                      Definitely got a little more comfortable sliding the car around thanks to the resurfacing.

                                        you'll be needing 1000lb springs if you want that flat handling look.
